"Tubby Hayes in a typically live club date. Hayes is in good form. The added bonus is NHOP on bass."

AWESOME LIVE TUBBS!

"I WAS BLOWN AWAY AFTER HEARING THIS ALBUM. AS SOMEONE WHO HAS LISTENED (AND LISTENED) TO ALMOST ALL OF TUBBY'S RECORDED OUTPUT I FOUND THIS LIVE DATE TO BE AMOUNG THE BEST OF ANY OF HIS RECORDINGS- AS IT FINDS AN EXTREEMLY UNRESTRAINED HAYES JUST BLOWING THE WALLS DOWN. A MUST FOR ANY FAN OF JAZZ TENOR. UTTERLEY COMPELLING MUSIC FROM A SADLY NEGLECTED JAZZ GENIUS."

A word from The Netherlands.

"This a good example of the fabulous technique of Tubby Hayes.
The recording conditions are not so good as I expected for a session in the seventies: the mike is too far from the sax or the recording level is too low. This makes the rhythm section a bit too loud.It seems also that Tubby has used a thinner reed
during this session, so his tone is not so broad as on other sessions, but it also a matter of taste to like or dislike this.
The track "Ï thought About You" is a wonderful ballad. Note that this music has never been issued before. Nice stuff for the Tubby Hayes fans."
